Depression makes Diabetes Worst

They say that laughter is the best medicine and sure enough I have seen a lot of people getting cured because of laughter.  I used to think that this is because that that kind of sickness are just in the mind but a recent study from the Group Health primary-care patients in western Washington proves that it can raise the risk of death for those with diabetic as well.

Depression has an effect on our health.  If we are depress then will be chances that our body’s system would not function.  When the body’s system doesn’t function well then that is the time those sicknesses are appearing.  For instance we know that we have diabetis when our body is not producing enough insulin or in some cases less insulin for our body to help digest the sugar.  Having diabetes means that we are subjected to blindness, amputation, heart attack and a lot more sickness.

Dr. Elizabeth Lin, the lead author of Group Health Research Institute experimented with people that has type 2 diabetes found out that major depression causes a commanding 36 higher risk of getting micro-vascular diseases such as kidney disease and blindness, 25 % of getting macro-vascular disease like stroke compared to diabetic not suffering from depression.

    I believe that depression is the no. 1 enemy of the mind. If it affects our mind, it affects the body, thus declining health.
